Will prostatitis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

I have had prostatitis for several years, but I have never paid attention to this issue. I believed it was a minor problem, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. My mother-in-law is expecting me to have a child. Can I get pregnant with prostatitis? Does prostatitis cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a very stubborn disease. If it is not treated in time or if it is not cured after prolonged treatment, it can lead to inflammation of other parts and organs, and it can also cause sexual dysfunction. In severe cases, it can lead to infertility. The prostate is a special type of organ tissue with a hard lipid capsule outside, which acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate the affected area of the prostate. Therefore, advanced physical therapy (“”) combined with medication should be adopted to achieve the goal of curing. It is impossible to cure prostatitis in one treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital for targeted and thorough examination and treatment. Prostatitis has a very significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and simple foods.
